If Deltan pheromones are the same as human pheromones (though MUCH more
concentrated and stronger), then blocking all such pheromones would be
the equivalent of chemical castration. Any dose strong enough to block
the level of Deltan pheromones would surely make hetero human men
totally uninterested in hetero human women too.
That's doable with the right meds too, but not something you normally do
to healthy normal human beings.
